I may be wrong, but blue camo can't provide much camouflage.

It looks to me like they assumed we must have known something they did not understand with out ACU pattern, so they copied us with similarly dismal results.

Digital camo? Does that mean it has pictures of fingers all over it?

Of course not! It has numbers, and they count down to the time of your death!

why do my fatigues have a 00:01 on them?

I picked flecktarn for a number of reasons but they all boil down to personal preferance.

But in all honesty I have to say "other" was my true choice: dark khaki. Call me old school but I feel that for the most part camo isn't needed save for troops in special roles. I've seen many a trooper use camo as a crutch to excuse poor field skills and by and large the various patterns seem to foster an idea that you don't have to try as hard to stay hidden. Dark Khaki (or Flat Dark Earth as the "operator types" (and that's another rant) call it) is a true multi environment colour, it blends well in the desert as well as the green sorts of places. Besides proper design of the uniform itself can lend to one that works well in the field and looks sharper than hell in garrison.

No mention of the East German Strichtarn?

I've heard it said that the perfect camouflage pattern is perfect only only until you move.

Very true. I remember my instructors telling us over and over again during basic that "movement attracts the eye".

It seems Khaki in various shades and the various shade of olive-green worked for long time for the normal troops...

We are forgetting the next most commonly used color of basic Black that some many "operator types" like to say they use too... *Shrug*
